Sorry I never answered your question. Yes, that was the one I was bidding on...I was trying to get it for a little coin and allowed it to go very cheap. The winning bidder got a good deal on this for eBay.

No problem. I assumed. I watched that one, and if I could have been there at close, I might have sniped at it too, but I probably wouldn't have paid more than it went for. Since I couldn't be there at close, I let it go. I wasn't too impressed with it being "sandblasted" either. The pics weren't good enough to tell if they had damaged it with the sand or not. Even fine sand can eat Aluminum quickly...

Hi Guy's

Just thought I would say that I concur with Alan re bidding on Ebay, there have been several items I would dearly have liked over the last week or so but have missed out for the very reason Alan stated in his post, one guy did change his shipping to worldwide as a result of my e-mail to him but most do not respond to my enquiries.

Of more annoyance is people who advertise their willingness to ship worldwide but request international bidders to e-mail them first for a quote on shipping charges, each time I have read this I have complied with their request (for my benefit as well as theirs) but have only had one reply from the many e-mails I have sent.

I thought the postal charges were high in Oz but you guy's suffer more than us it seems, my last purchase on ebay was a metal emblem, the seller charged me $10.00 shipping which I thought was a bit steep for one emblem, now I know why!

Regards

Lee

Hello Lee:

I quit buying sellers in foriegn countries after I bought a magazine from a fellow in OZ. It was a "free" magazine when published and I bought it for $3 USD. I enjoyed reading the magazine for the different writing style, adverts and other content. It was interesting to me to experience one of your countries magazines. The seller charged me $11 USD for shipping, plus the $3 winning bid.

Would you believe that I was out sniped by the same guy on the same part again!? Even with my using the AuctionMagic software that was suggested earlier in this thread! Darn it... This guy is obviously not doing any restoration work, he's either stock piling these or reselling them in Japan for a bundle.
